Blind Storage

Blind storage is an efficient method of storing goods in warehouses and logistics centers. In blind storage, stored items are packed in bins, boxes or pallets and labeled with barcode labels or RFID tags without knowing the exact location of each item in the warehouse.

This method offers several advantages, including optimal use of available storage space and improved picking efficiency. As the exact position of the items in the warehouse is not known, storage locations can be used more flexibly and bottlenecks can be avoided. This leads to better space utilization and more efficient warehousing.

Another advantage of blind storage is the reduction in picking time. As employees do not have to search for individual items, but only have to scan for the corresponding barcode labels or RFID tags, picking time is reduced and productivity is increased.

Blind storage is often used in industries where a large number of SKUs (Stock Keeping Units) need to be managed, such as retail, food, electronics and pharmaceuticals. The method is particularly suitable for warehouses with a high throughput and a wide range of products.

Overall, blind storage is an efficient storage method that helps to make optimal use of warehouses and logistics centers and to optimize picking processes. By implementing blind storage, companies can reduce their warehousing costs and increase operational efficiency.
